Abstract excerpt
Through a combination of fluorescence microscopy and patch-clamp analysis we have identified a striking alteration in K(+) channel expression in terminally differentiated human CCR7(-)CD45RA(-) effector memory T lymphocytes (T(EM)). Following activation, T(EM) cells expressed significantly higher levels of the voltage-gated K(+) channel Kv1.3 and lower levels of the calcium-activated K(+) channel IKCa1 than naive...
